Buffeting cannot be fixed by the windshield size or its position. Turbulence comes from down below your knee level. Angled windshield pushes air upward and at the same time scooping air into cockpit from down below. And because there is some "vacuum" behind the screen, air stream happily jumps into cockpit from below, to compensate the pressure... It hits your torso then rides up to the chin bar of a helmet causing buffeting... The only way to stop buffeting is to install lower wind deflectors angled the way so they push air downward. That will block the turbulent stream entering cockpit from below and you'll ride inside of a capsule of still air.

Thank you much for sharing your knowledge and experience. I've not owned a bike with a windshield and I have been wondering the pros and cons of both styles. I always wanted to ride threw the desert at night with Motorhead's Iron Horse playing loud enough for my deaf ears. Thanks man

Hi Randy! How much air are you feeling at the hand and arms? I ask because I’m consider a fairing for very cold riding. And I get a lot on my arms with the shield, but I don’t want to lay out bunch of $ if my arms gonna stay cold.

It does a good job of blocking the wind. The same as the regular harley touring models you also can utilize pre 2013 harley windshields of varying sizes. Reckless also sells side wings which block even more wind

Hey Randy, I’m running the same bike with the same fairing. Do you notice the RM glove compartment ratting from vibration. How did you fix that?
@randytbird6548 Жыл бұрын
I thought i was the only one! I insert ed some plastic fill plugs between the " fins " for lack of a better description. That cures it. You can get these at better hardware stores. Mine made a rattling zinging sound like a loose metal cover. Hope this helps

@@randytbird6548 thanks Randy. I’m currently using a chamois cloth but it’s ugly as hell. Thanks for the heads up. I’m sure everyone gets this. I also put the wind deflectors on mine for an even larger air pocket in cooler weather.

hey there, great video! Do you think that GT air 2 is helping with the buffeting/updrafts? I'm running an RF-1400, and I'm starting to suspect it might be the cause of my buffeting issues.

It Has great Airflow with little buffeting My Freind has an RF 1400 and rides a street glide he love it. What Windshield are you using if any?

@@randytbird6548 I’ve tried just about every windshield you can buy lol. I’ve tried clear view, clockwerks, and freedom shields. They all give me buffeting. I even cut a hole in one of them and installed the honda gl1800 vent. The best solution for me so far was to cut my stock windshield as low as I could, almost to the mounting brackets, and use the wind deflectors.

The rf1400 is a very aerodynamic design. Do you run a really high or low seat?

No way to purchase these fairings in Canada.

Have you tried calling them directly? The exchange rate may be high. Maybe they don't choose to do international sales. There are other companies but I can't vouch for them. Good luck with your search

@@randytbird6548 Yes, the only way is to use a third party buyer which I don't trust. This also inflates the cost.
